Did Jesus Have a Cat?: And Other Observations from a Quirky Mind

Connie Pursell is an astute observer of life whose writings capture the eccentric, the quirky, and even the divine in everyday incidents. Inspired by the writings of Natalie Goldberg, David Sedaris, and Nora Ephron, Connie's own unique insights come alive as she eloquently tackles an eclectic variety of subjects such as, "I'm Becoming My Mother After All," "I've Kissed My Last Frog," and "Nurturing the Core Being." Connie's "quirky mind" reflects a playful, unpredictable way of looking at things. And while her subject matter may be ordinary, her views are always unconventional. She loves to give reality a slight tweak, which often results in either a humorous or sober outcome-but either way it is always fresh and distinctive. "Pursell majors in nuances and the complicated. Everything life offers, like it or not, is fodder for her nimble, mischievous prose." -Reverend Tom Owen-Towle About the Author Connie Pursell is a baby boomer and a technical writer.
